Was sat in my defender at a junction once, car in front of me got tboned by a shogun while he was sat waiting! I’d of been a right mess if he’d hit me! Sold it very soon after for something with more of a solid door!

Got hit and subsequently rolled this a few times. Safety cage and kit did it’s job and I walked away perfectly fine. Car was a write off but still drove off the trailer once I’d refilled the oil!

Old Shoguns are super solid in my experience. Sadly they don’t make vehicles like that anymore.

Donnington also killed my track car - 1.6 puma, standard with a drilled air box and semi slicks - was a brilliant thing , upset some expensive cars! blew the clutch cylinder oil pipe half way around, somehow managed to coast back to the pits.. had a real hard few track sessions so couldn’t be bothered to fix it up so scrapped it. Glad we never rolled it without a cage mind you….

Well I know my Mrs was better off in our Shogun when she rolled it than any of our other cars before it. I wasn’t pleased about the fact she’d wrecked my pride and joy, but was happy she was safe, if you know what I mean.

And the Shogun lived to fight another day too…

they were very careful to avoid any chassis to chassis contact which'd have resulted in a very different story .... it's what i'd aim for, if there was no way out -- full frontal impact every time

I thought that too

To be fair to her, that was the only one that she rolled, but she’s rubbed the corners off of most of them at one time or other!

But that shogun was a tough old bus, a 3.5L rocket, I didn’t appreciate what a nice one it was until I went hunting for its replacement! Hence it ‘going again’…..
The last one we ran was a 2.8td and stuck the punishment like nothing else. Great motors

Numbered set of of four with the WiFi base, today all four in one bird, no's 3&4 in the breasts, no 1 in a thigh and number two up the arse (in the sausage and chestnut stuffing)

Love being able to get the cook even and monitor the internal temperature throughout the cook & hours rest

Great too when cooking different meats to different doneness in the same oven.

Really come into their own in normal times being able to put a big lump of beef in the oven and stop off at the pub on the dog walk and being able to check if I have time for another couple from the bar
